Download or read book History of the Sixth Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment written by Capt. E. V. Tempest and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled at the instigation of the ‘Old Comrades Association' of the 1/6th Battalion of the West Yorkshire regiment, this is a typical no-nonsense history of a down-to-earth unit that saw active service, suffered heavy casualties, and rendered sterling service in some of the very worst fighting seen on the western front during the Great War. With a laconic foreword by General Plumer, in whose 2nd Army the 1/6th West Yorkshires served at Ypres and Passchendaele, the book gives a full account of the battalion's service which, in addition to third Ypres, included action at Nieuport, on the coastal tip of the trenchlines, and on the Somme at Thiepval. After enduring the great German offensives in the spring of 1918, they took part in the Allied counter push, moving from Cambrai to Valenciennes before the Armistice brought the war to an end. With a range of photographs of officers, men, and aerial shots of trench warfare, this volumw has a particularly fine and extensive selection of trench maps as well as Rolls of Honour, decorations etc.

Download or read book With the 1 5th Essex in the East written by D. S. O. Lt Col T. Gibbons and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unusually for a British service Battalion, the Fifth battalion of the Essex Regiment spent its entire Great War service in action against the Turks. The battalion had a bloody baptism of fire when it was thrown into the inferno of Gallipoli in 1915, fighting in the trenches near Anzac Cove. The rest of its war was spent in Egypt, guarding the Suez Canal, and then in Gaza and Palestine, where the battalion formed part of Allenby's successful advance to capture Jerusalem and Damascus in 1918. Illustrated by photographs, maps and accompanied by a Roll of Honour, this is an unusually fine history of a unit that, though not on the western front, still saw savage fighting.

Download or read book History of the Duke of Cornwall s Light Infantry 1914 1919 written by Everard Wyrall and published by . This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1914 the DCLI consisted of five battalions, 1st and 2nd (Regular), 3rd (Special Reserve) and 4th and 5th (Territorial). The 1st was at the Curragh in 14 Brigade, 5th Division; the 2nd was in Hong Kong; the3rd and the 5th were in Bodmin and the 4th was in Truro. Before the war had ended another ten battalions had been formed and of the total of fifteen battalions ten served abroad. Apart from the 2/4th which spent the war in India, all the active service battalions were in France and Belgium, two of them (2nd and 8th) going on to Salonika with 27th and 26th Divisions respectively. Two of them, 1/5th and the 10th were divisional pioneer battalions while the 12th (Labour) Battalion, which went to France as Army Troops Fourth Army, became labour companies in the Labour Corps. The Regiment was awarded 57 battle honours and one VC, the dead numbered 4510. The author is one of the most prolific of the military history writers, seven regimental and four divisional histories when this one went to press. The narrative begins with the 1st Battalion mobilizing and embarking for France where it arrived on 15th August, part of the original BEF. The 2nd Battalion returned from Hong Kong to join the newly formed 27th Division, which arrived in France in December 1914 and eleven months later was transferred to Salonika. Wyrral follows his usual pattern of providing a chronological account of the war from Mons to the Armistice as it affected the DCLI, and in the margins of each page is the date of the events being described and the battalion or battalions involved. There is a Roll of Honour, list of Honours and Awards including Mentions in Despatches and Foreign Awards, promotions for services in the field and a useful reference showing the allocations of battalions of the Regiment to brigades or divisions.
